Moffitt to team with Sarasota center

Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa and the Center for Building Hope in Sarasota have announced a partnership to provide free professionally led cancer support programs for patients and caregivers at Moffitt facilities. With advances in prevention, detection and treatment, the goal is to assist the growing survivor population.
“This collaboration brings together two world-class providers of mind/body cancer support in our region, one a leader in the diagnosis and treatment of all forms of cancer and the other a leader in information, education and programs supporting those undergoing cancer treatment," said G. Douglas Letson, executive vice president and physician-in-chief of Moffitt.
The free programs will include networking groups tailored to specific cancers, nutrition programs, exercise classes, and educational workshops with physicians and experts. Participants will learn how to make better health choices, regain control over their daily lives and reduce anxiety.

“This affiliation will offer education, training and research opportunities that will provide a bridge from diagnosis to recovery,” said Andrea Feldmar, program director at Center for Building Hope. “The mind and body work together to impact our overall health and our ability to recover from disease.”
